The 6 foods that cause abdominal fat (visceral fat) that you should avoid
and favor a diet that supports liver
function.
The role of stress in the accumulation of abdominal fat
Besides foods to avoid, stress is a major factor in abdominal fat gain.
When you’re stressed, your body produces cortisol, a hormone that converts protein into sugar to provide extra energy in times of danger. However, chronic stress maintains high cortisol levels, increasing blood sugar and promoting the storage of visceral fat.Biology
To reduce stress, try methods such as:
Take a 45-minute walk in nature daily to soothe your nervous system.
Listen to slow music (approximately 60 beats per minute) to induce deep relaxation.
Practice guided meditation, available for free online.
Sleeping at least eight hours a night helps to rebalance your hormones and promotes fat burning.
